Bryan Steil Fails Wisconsin Veterans

MADISON, Wis. — At a recent roundtable, despite vehemently supporting the DOGE cuts that ultimately led to the loss of 30,000 jobs at VA hospitals across Wisconsin, Bryan Steil had the gall to speak down to veterans, claiming “we’ve got a lot of resources that are available.” This could not be further from the truth, as the same DOGE cuts Steil cheered on are causing severe staffing shortages at VA hospitals throughout Wisconsin along with an increase in delays and appointment cancellations.

“After cheerleading to cut veterans services, the only thing Bryan Steil has left to offer them is hollow claims and a whole lot of bs,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Rachel La Due. “Veterans and their families in the first congressional district deserve a congressman who will fight for them, not one who will turn his back on them as soon as he is back in D.C.”

Bryan Steil also voted against the PACT Act, which provided a historic expansion of healthcare benefits to veterans exposed to toxins, allowing them to live longer and healthier lives.

    Finally The Dems are speaking since there are is 3 4 or 5 running to oppose so any money will be spent on why vote for ME and not on Steil

    I am pleading for the Democratic party in Wisconsin to spend money now to set the record straight about these MAGA candidates who have taken over our country. These press releases are nice but you are preaching to the choir. Loosen the purse strings get on the air now to all the voters.
